Landon in his speech the other evening said nothing and said that not very well. Beginning January Ist. it will mean something to hold a driver s license for to get one you will have to really pass a test. The wild geese are southward bound. Old timers say that means cold weather is approaching Vse your own best judgment Elections were held in fifteen states yesterday and here we hard ly knew there was any turmoil of that kind going on. Next year will be different. * Many who paid their taxes the past few days believe they know now why the poet wrote: "The melancholy days have come, the saddest of the year." The elections are over and the experts are busy figuring out how it effects the campaign of next year and in 1910. Politics is certainly becoming the major business in America. A Chicago woman who bought some cheap lipstick, which she claims made her lips swell, crack and discolor, has sued the manufacturers for SIO,OOO, alleging the "future loss of the enjoyment of osculation.” She may have something there. The Fourth Ward Republican Club of Gary has filed a petition with the secretary of state to change the name from that to the Democratic Organization Club. Evidently there has been a complete change of the fundamentals of the club. Draw your own conclusions. Pranksters using two dynamite I bombs blew- up a bridge on road 31 just north of Indianapolis on Halloween. State police are in- 1 vestigating oh the theory that truck drivers, angry at not being able to use the highway under a recent order, may have had something to do with it. Stocks are firmer than a week ago and indications are that they will remain so with a tendency upward. There is no reason why stocks should be worth less than their earning capacity nor much reason why they should be worth more than the dividends maße them .gobd investments. Manufacturers of newsprint paper claim to have lost money the past several years. Consequently they have made two increases recently and will add another the first of the year. And it seems there is no way for the average country newspaper to dodge it He has to have the paper and he has to pay the price fixed. After all a live parly doesn't have Io hold a midyear eonvenlloti. It may be a good dose of medicine fol an ailing G. O. P. so far tillable to diagnocc the trouble or even locate its troublesome

| symptoms. Adopting a platform' two or three years ahead looks considerably as though they were plumb scared and nothing else. I, The county commissioners have t changed several of the boundaries in Decatur for voting precincts. The Homestead residents will vote ' t in First A while those people living in the vicinity of Niblick street • will cast their ballots in First B. ) All people residing north of WashJ ington street will vote in Three-A. j The plan also of numbering all pre- ’ > cincts straight through, starting 1 with Union township will prove a convenience. The state highways of course' have the right-of-way because of the immense traffic on these roads in comparison with the county highways. Those who approach marked state highways or through streets should stop and wait an opportunity to safely pull on to tne route. It s the same old thing. , use the utmost care all the time. | . And the wise driver slows up as he approaches a side road, whether he has the right of way or not. New drivers will have to qualify i in Indiana beginning January Ist and it will be wise for those who decide to go into this popular business. sport or necessity, to learn just what the law is. The act was passed by the last legislature and will soon be effective. When it is.' the new driver must serve a ninetyday probation or apprenticeship test and then must report each, mouth for an entire year. Those i who drive cars after this will have. to learn how and it should be a, big step towards elimination of those who can't qualify. —■ iifwjjb I 1 Prisoners in the various penal I 1 institutions of Indiana are discover- ■ is no simple matter to get < a parole. The state alemency com- | mission is what many would call "hard-boiled." They are not but ' they are good citizens who believe j 1 that when men are sent to prison ■ they should be punished and should | 1 not be released because some relative has secured a number of signatures to a petition. They re- | fused every petition from the sev-j* enteen, a record that points to better days for society. We should understand that the law means something and that a prison sentence is to ba served. We passed a high school lad this morning. He gave US a smile that ’ made us feel more cheerful, he | looked us squarely in the eye and I he impressed us as a youngster who would go places and do things, f He may not realize it but person ality in this day and age meant more than any thing else and one : way to have it is to be pleasant and cordial. Neatness in appear-. I ance and graciousness in manner ’ are great assets and business is glad to pay for it. While educat-1 , ing yourselves young men and women, don't forget to learn how to be just polite enough to attract attention. If you overdo it you spoil the effect. Be natural but work at it. Cold chills must have run down, the backs of reactionery editors I when they read last week that Senator-elect John E. Miller of Arkansas had telegraphed the secretary of the Senate asking to be seated with the Democrats- “I am a Democrat," declared former Con-| gressmau Miller in his telegram. Miller, you will remember, was elected on an independent ticket, defeating Governor Bailey, and Republicans saw in the Miller victory a defeat for the New Deal. Now! they'know differently. Comment-1 ing on the Arkansas election, the Si. Louis Star and Times said, in I pari: “The Arkansas delegation ini Congress voted almost solidly in l Congress on every controversial bill before the last session of Congress, and Congressman Miller, on i evtry recorded vote, was [tart of I the majority in the delegation. He \ had practically a perfect record of support for New Deal legiclatiou ! That puts him in the same class! i

Appointment Os Edward Stettinius, Jr., 38. as chairman of the board of U. S. Steel, and promotion of Benjamin Fairless, 47. to the presidency, marks the beginning of a new era for the giant industry.

Today steel seems more socially conscious, more aware of its obligation to employes as well as stockholders. Both Faith-ss and Btettlniua represent a more liberal and progressive policy than was ever tolerated in the day* of Frick and Carnegie.

SEAL FUND AIDS FIGHT ONT.B. Christmas Seals And Bonds Aid Tuberculosis Fight milaiiaiHills, Ind . Nov. 3—-(Spa-cial) That money contributed by Indiana citiaeua for the purchase of Christmas seals and bonds carries on widespread research in university aud other laboratories, from which it is hoped that evldentually some specific cure for tuberculosis may be found, was the statement , made here today by Dr. C. I. Meini type, president of the Indiana Tuber: u'osis association, which is sponsoring the 1337 sale of holiday health emblems in each of the 9? counties of the state. Dr. Mclntyre emphasized that in addition to the research work being carried on the seal money given throughout the nation at Christmastime also has been responsible for the vast network of tuberculosis sanatoria, diagnostic centers, additional 'public health, nursing, school health education, health-in-i Industry campaigns and an elaborate and continuing system of health education, designed to teach all 1 citizens how to live so as to prei vent tuberculosis. "Perhaps the greatest hope of all, among the students of the tuberculosis problem, lies in the field of research" Dr. Mclntyre said. The national tuberculosis association has been developing research facilities tor many years. Instead of attempting to establish and maintain a laboratory for tuberculosis research which would have been almost prohibitive financially— the association has organled and coordinadted the work of various individuals and groups in tuberculosis research. It was found advantageous to enlist the cooperation of university laboratories in many parts of the country and through these to obtain the interest in the problem of the highly trained per-

'sonnet constantly at wont tn such study-grounds. Grants from the , committee a funds wore made to atl* Itnulate new studies or to further old ones. Thus, for example, studies in the chemistery of the tubercle ibaci iilua go hand In hand with rtudiea on the biological effects of chemical factories Isolated from the bacilli. All the workers in these special fields are brought together at inI terva's to discuss progress. ’ "But this money has meant only a very small peraentage of the total collected from Christmas seal sales. By far the bulk of this money has been spent directly on education in prevention and cure of the disease In the given communities where the Seals were purchased. In Indiana, for example, »5 percent of all Christmas seal money is expended within the state to expand and stimulate such health-bringing facilities as sanatorium beds, unrsing service, school health education, and a continuing education in rightliving. Hoosier citizens know of the results of Christmas seal money."
